This truly is the first toy that has really excited my son. He is obsessed with the neighborhood trash and recycling trucks and plays pretend with the trash cans in our house, so I wanted to get him a more appropriate toy than our real garbage. He loves this "trash truck" and plays with it well by himself. He uses the little people to play pretend and has fun manipulating the different parts and dumping the trash cans. I love that it is kid powered and doesn't use batteries and he loves that it moves and makes sounds (it is quite loud) - wonderful innovation.

My kids, 2 and 5, both play with this truck. It isn't battery powered and annoying like other trucks. Yet, this thing can really take off when the kids push it. They like moving it about the house and taking the cans and people in and out of it. If your kids like garbage trucks and have good imaginations, they will probably like this truck. (My kids run to the window upon hearing our neighborhood garbage truck.) If not, they may be bored.

The price seemed a bit steep, but this toy has proven its worth. The toy has many pieces and functions that make it a great toy to share and a great toy to keep a kid busy. My [...] son enjoys it, but it really fascinated my friend's 3 and [...] sons. It seems sturdy enough to outlast a decent amount of rough play.

Initially I thought this toy was overpriced, but I am now a huge fan of the WOW toys. This one in particular is our favorite and provides literally hours of play for my 3 year old boy. We have Dudley Dump Truck and Lifter Luke, but this one is so much more interactive. It's unfortunate the people who had a very untimely and unpredictable accident with their boy are rating the product badly as it is developmentally appropriate, stimulating, interactive and fun. We're looking forward to getting more from this company on upcoming special occasions!

I bought this for my 18 month old son, who, like other reviewers' sons, is crazy about the neighborhood garbage and recycling trucks. This thing is like fort knox ... unbreakable. He carries it around by the "handle" on the top, knocks it on things, has dropped it several times, brings it on trips with us, etc., and it just keeps going. He loves taking the drivers in and out, loves the garbage chute where the containers come out, and loves to make it "go" with the engine noise rumbling. We are getting him the WOW table and a few new vehicles for his second birthday and hope he loves them just as much! This a great buy!

We bought this for our grandson's second birthday. He is fascinated with our neighborhood garbage truck and has to wave to the men every week. This toy is great! Very well made and durable. He loves playing with it especially pushing it on the tile (it zooms!) My 9 mo. old grandchild loves turning it upside down and pushing the wheels. I would highly recommend this toy.Flip 'n' Tip Fred

5/25/2011-It is now over 3 years later and my grandson (9 mo. old) turned 4 this month and this garbage truck is still his favorite toy. He plays with it almost every day and even though he plays rough sometimes, this toy looks like the day we bought it. Love, love, love WOW toys.

We purchased this truck for Christmas 2010. Our son was 2 1/2. Today is the end of October 2011. He has played with this EVERY DAY in between. We added the Cement Mixer along the way. Excellent imagination generation toys. High quality and worth the investment. We hope to find something just as wonderful for this upcoming Christmas.

We received this as a gift for our son when he turned one. It is currently hidden away in a closet to give us(the grown ups) a little break from it. It is a fun, durable and exciting toy for our kids to play with. But.....it is soooo loud. When it is pushed around the house at a higher speed it is extremely loud. If it goes more slowly, it isn't so bad, but this doesn't seem to be as exciting for the kids! I appreciate the design otherwise and the male and female recycling workers that it comes with.

I love that WOW toys get back to basics...no batteries required, yet lots of moving parts and noises. Very sturdy, high quality plastic construction. This garbage/recycle truck has a bunch of different functions--levers that pick up trash cans, sliding door, etc. Very entertaining. Slightly pricey compared to the more disposable variety of discount store truck toys, but I feel that it's still a good VALUE...won't break or need endless batteries. Something that can be handed down to multiple kids/families and still work like new.

My 3 yr twins received this for a birthday gift - they LOVE it! I liked that they can match the trash cans with the pictures on the truck, and also thought the feature of a gate to let the cans fall back out was pretty fun. I think it would have been cool if the trash can lids were actually hinged, but that's okay. Super durable. My husband really liked the "engine" sound it makes as you push it, but it is super loud and we often ask the boys to play with this truck down in the basement playroom because it is so loud when you push it fast - which my boys love to do.
